Abstract. Modern enterprises rely on Information Systems required both to
support their operation and provide information required to endorse strategic
decisions. Because of their increasing complexity, such systems are usually
constructed by integrating software components of different nature and origins,
e.g., commercial off-the-shelf components (COTS), free and open source
software (FOSS), web services and micro-services and also bespoke software
and legacy systems, into complex hybrid systems. To support their design,
implementation and evolution, non-traditional, non-sequential “random
lifecycles” are required. In such lifecycles, traditional system engineering
activities such as requirements elicitation, architectural design and system
integration are randomly intertwined, on-demand, with more contemporary
activities such as components evaluation and selection, integration with legacy
systems, transition among legacy and newly acquired or developed
components, among others. In this talk we invite the audience to explore
creative ways in which i* models can be used, both in academy and practice, to
support activities in complex random lifecycles applied over Information
Systems.
